DEVICE FOR INSERTING PACKING DISKS IN BOTTLE CLOSURES Filed May 11, 1933 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Fig. 2

What I claim is:

1. In a device for transferring packing disks from a magazine to a point where they are inserted in caps for closing bottles and the like vessels, the combination of a reciprocating slide for transferring a disk from a magazine to a point where said disk is inserted into a cap, a stop against which said disk abuts when it reaches said point, a reciprocating block having a longer stroke than required by said slide, yieldable spring means connecting said slide and said block, and means stopping the device when said spring means are not resisted by the abutment of a complete disk against said stop.

.2. In-a device for transferring packing disks from a magazine to a point where they are inserted in caps for closing bottles and the like vessels, the combination of a reciprocating slide for transferring a disk from a magazine to a point where said disk is inserted into a cap, a reciprocating block having a longer stroke than required by said slide, yieldable spring means connecting said slide and said block so that they move together until nearly the end of their stroke, an abutment stopping a disk when it reaches the position for insertion, and means for stopping the device actuated when no relative movement takes place between said slide and said block,

- said spring being strong enough to prevent such relative movement except when a complete disk comes against said abutment.

3. In a device for transferring packing disks from a magazine to a point where they are inserted in caps for closing bottles and the like vessels, the combination of a reciprocating slide for transferring a disk from a magazine to a point where said disk is inserted into a cap, a stop against which said disk abuts when it reaches said point, a reciprocating block having a longer stroke than required by said slide, yieldable spring means connecting said slide and said block, a reciprocating resilient plunger for transferring a disk from said slide into a cap, said slide moving into the path of said plunger, at the end of its stroke when said spring means are'not resisted by the abutment of a complete disk against said stop, and means for stopping the device when said plunger strikes said slide.

4. In a device for transferring packing disks from a magazine to a point where they are insorted in caps for closing bottles and the like vessels, the combination of a reciprocating slide for transferring a disk from a magazine to a point where said disk is inserted into a cap, a

stop against which said disk abuts when it reaches 5 said point, intermittently rotating means for feeding caps in succession to said point, means for holding a cap in position while at said point,

a reciprocating block having a longer stroke than required by said slide, yieldable spring means connecting said slide and said block, and means stopping thedevice when said spring means are not resisted by the abutment of a complete disk against said stop.

5. In a device for transferring packing disks from a magazine to a point where they are inserted in caps for closing bottles and the like vessels, the combination of a reciprocating slide for transferring a disk from a magazine to a point where said disk is inserted in a cap, an abutment stopping a disk in position at said point and through said disk stopping said slide, a reciprocating block having a longer stroke than required by said slide, a bolt forming a lost motion connection between said slide and said block, a compression spring normally taking up said lost Y motion and yielding when a complete disk stops said slide, and means for stopping the device when said spring does not yield through absence of a complete disk.

6. In a device for transferring packing disks from a magazine to a point where they are inserted in caps for closing bottles and the like vessels, the combination of a reciprocating slide for transferring a disk from a magazine to a point where said disk is inserted into a cap, a stop against which said disk abuts when it reaches said point, a reciprocating block having a longer stroke than required by said slide, yieldable spring means connecting said slide and said block, a second reciprocating block, a resilient plunger on said second block for transferring a disk from said slide into a cap, said slide moving into the path of said plunger, at the end of its stroke when said spring means are not resisted by the abutment of a complete disk against said stop, and means for stopping the device when said second block moves relatively to said plunger.
